ERC Starting Grant Proposal
After MSCA, I decided to start writing a proposal for the ERC StG. I gathered all documents, videos, blog posts, and first-hand experiences from my colleagues in order to understand the writing process.
I also contacted the Italian National Contact Point so that they could assess my CV and tell me if it was competitive enough to have at least a chance. Luckily, they gave me a positive answer, so I am now starting this new journey.
I also participate in Facebook and Whatsapp groups with fellow researchers to exchange ideas and tips.
In March 2024, I was invited to the interview. This was a great accomplishment for me, because it was my first try and I received no help in writing from consulting companies.
I am currently writing an article detailing my experience with the whole process, including the interview and the resubmission.
